Quick fix:


%26gt;login to Yahoo! Messenger


%26gt;click on 'Messenger'


%26gt;click on 'My Contact Details'


%26gt;at the top is 'Name:'%26gt;


%26gt;*complete all three name fields (to stop Yahoo! Messenger from accessing the details in Yahoo! Account information)





*if you only edit your Nickname nothing will change, your first and last name will be displayed from your Account Information


*if you only edit your First Name, your Last Name will be extracted from your Account Information


*if you only edit your Last Name, your First Name will be extracted from your Account Information





If you change your My Contact Details within Yahoo! Messenger you must edit all 3 required fields (First, Last and Nickname) to prevent both your First and Last Names showing, or a mixed combination of them.





Just because you can't see your First and Last Name details in Yahoo! Messenger doesn't mean other people can't.


Add yourself to your own friends list, right click on your username in the list, select Contact Details and see what information is being sent out


or head to Messenger %26gt; Preferences %26gt; Appearance (category) under For each contact on the messenger list show their: and select Nickname or First and Last Name, hit Apply, hit OK and recheck what your friends list displays.





If you have accepted or sent out, requests to add to friends lists, and your First / Last Names are showing, the user will need to delete you from their Yahoo! Messenger friends list AND their address book to remove this information, you are not able to do this yourself, nor does updating your own details impact on what they already have.

Reply:from what i know, you can't change your yahoo ID ldg2231 and have others be redirected to your new name. you have to delete this one or create another.


but there is another way :) ......


you can crete an alias for your id, for example you can log-in to ymail or ymess using ldg2231 or ldg_2231 (depending on availability and personal choice) . frend may send you mail on both, and you will receive them in the same inbox.
